Software updates are a subset of an upgrade, so the software update deployment cycle that is used for upgrading SharePoint 2010 farms and servers also applies to deploying software updates for Search Server 2010, Search Server 2010 Express, and FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint.
We recommend that you use the update cycle that is shown in the following illustration as a guide to deploy the latest software updates.
